This is my favorite mussels recipe which we will be having as an appetizer tomorrow night at the first of the season cookout to help usher in SUMMERTIME! What's your favorite? Please share <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
5 pounds mussels (preferably cultivated) 3 limes a 13 1/2-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk 1/3 cup dry white wine 1 1/2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce 1 tablespoon sugar 2 cups fresh cilantro sprigs
Accompaniment: lime wedges
PreparationScrub mussels well and remove beards. Squeeze enough juice from limes to measure 1/3 cup. In an 8-quart kettle boil lime juice, coconut milk, wine, curry paste, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar over high heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Add mussels, tossing to combine. Cook mussels, covered, stirring occasionally, until opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. (Discard any unopened mussels.) Chop cilantro and toss with mussels.
Serve mussels with lime wedges.
Best wishes to all for a very happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend!

Hey Breeze...yes they are a big hit and left overs can be served over pasta. Also, when I do the white wine, garlic and butter I also add in lots of shallots...the flavor and smell is outstanding. MMMMMMMMM I'm getting hungry! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

Silverfox, We just pick them fresh from the beach in front of the house in Southold... Long Island Mussels are great and bigger than PEI Mussles... but we do need to clean off the "beards" ourselves... I can pick a half Bu. in a half hour... they are everywhere! we have literally thousands in our 130' of waterfront alone... (and then all the clams (hard & soft shell) & oysters we want in the water, and then there are the Blue Claws also!)... Wine, Garlic & Butter... with baguette for dipping! doesn't get any better!
we used to have lots of Peconic Bay Scallops too, until the brown tide about 20 years ago... now they are primarily concentrated in Hallocks Bay in Orient...

Brian, I grew up on the beach and 62 years later am still here. My grandmother used to take my sister and myself down to the water at low tide to pick mussels off the jetties and am in total agreement that those of us lucky enough to have access to wild don't mind the extra work of cleaning them. I was paying $1.00 a lb for my pei's and after a rinse they went from cooler to pot and on the table for $8.99 so it was a sweet thing. Another quick receipe, a pia but good nonetheless. Put a few dozen mussels in the freezer until they start to gape, open them with a clam knife, slice the mussel's muscle (always wanted to say that) like a 1/2 shell clam and top with a mixture of bread crumbs, grated cheese, garlic, oregano and olive oil. Broil briefly until brown. Great appy.
